Bikeberry mags…

Im really NOT a fan of those 10 spoke rims...ive seen pics here in the forums somewhere, where they failed at the contact points where it connects to the rim...keep a good eye on it and for God's sake, dont inflate those "tyres" where they are rock hard with those already rock hard mags...Spoke wheels have some natural "give" and flex to them...mags do not...my tires say 40 to 65 pounds of air...mine are set at 35 front, to 38 rear, and give just enough flex to give a comfortable ride yet just inflated enough where they pass the "squeeze" test...your a bike guy so you know what i mean by this...lol...DAMIEN

Yeah- Hookworms really are a great tyre below 40 psi, so no worries here. I think I can see where the stress fractures could occur on this style of rim. This is the problem with stuff you can’t touch. This is one reason why I will paint the a nice, bright colour like faux BBS gold. I can see developing cracks. I was going to just strip them back to raw aluminium, but in the end, BBS gold will look smart. Not going to full replication as the frame will be Zombie Green and the brand name is “Jamisaki” (for a mate of mine). Said mate rings me, and speaks to me in a lousy fake English accent and calls me “Governor”. Bloody hell!!! That is why my bike is a Jamisaki!!!

Yes- “guv’nah”. Jamisaki is a card. Always taking the piss out of my accent!

The saddest thing is that more of my relatives back home have seen more states than I have! Apparently a LOT of Americans only get to maybe, what- five states in their lifetime?
